Mosquito-transmitted Highlands J virus in Florida by C. Roxanne Rutledge-Connelly

“… Highlands J virus (HJ) is a mosquito-transmitted alphavirus that is similar to eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEE) in its natural cycle; it is transmitted from Culiseta melanura mosquitoes to songbirds in freshwater swamps. It has a low pathogenicity in mammals and is rarely seen in humans or horses. …”

Caractéristiques rythmiques du chant de l'indri et nouvelles perspectives pour une évaluation comparative du rythme chez les primates non humains by Marco Gamba, Valeria Torti, Chiara De Gregorio, Teresa Raimondi, Longondraza Miaretsoa, Filippo Carugati, Walter Cristiano, Rose M. Randrianarison, Giovanna Bonadonna, Anna Zanoli, Olivier Friard, Daria Valente, Andrea Ravignani, Cristina Giacoma

“…Our results demonstrated for the first time that another primate besides humans produces categorical rhythms, an ability likely evolved convergently among singing species such as songbirds, indris, and humans. Understanding which communicative features are shared with other species is fundamental to understanding how they have evolved. …”
